Hi all, Tim. I wanted to update topic v3.5.13-sru in Etherpad, but I encountered an unexpected problem. Since line 1873 I see only line numbers, but I do not see content. Anything below so I can not edit - or read others :) Any ideas? Move list of changes to the wiki? Thanks Slavek --

Still no working o2_enterprise tdm theme - both R14 and 3513-sru?

by David C. Rankin

All, I need help to find out why I cannot get the new graphical login to display. Instead of the o2_enterprise theme, I get the old xdg login. Here is the R14 shot: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/tdm_r14-xdg-screen.jpg The same think in 3.5.13-sru http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/kdm-3513-sru-xdg-old.jpg The kdmrc & tdmrc are default with 'k' 't' appropriate for each. Here is the kdmrc: [X-*-Core] Setup=/opt/trinity/share/config/kdm/Xsetup Startup=/opt/trinity/share/config/kdm/Xstartup Reset=/opt/trinity/share/config/kdm/Xreset Session=/opt/trinity/share/config/kdm/Xsession AllowRootLogin=false AllowNullPasswd=false AllowShutdown=Root ClientLogFile=.xsession-errors-%s [X-*-Greeter] LogoArea=Logo LogoPixmap=/opt/trinity/share/apps/kdm/pics/kdelogo.png AntiAliasing=true MinShowUID=500 MaxShowUID=65000 UseTheme=true Theme=/opt/trinity/share/apps/kdm/themes/o2_enterprise [X-:*-Core] ServerCmd=/usr/bin/X -br ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp AllowNullPasswd=true AllowShutdown=All [X-:*-Greeter] PreselectUser=Previous FocusPasswd=true LoginMode=DefaultLocal AllowClose=true [X-:0-Core] ClientLogFile=.xsession-errors [X-:0-Greeter] On tdm/kdm start, you can see a momentary message flash in the center of the black screen before the old xdg login dialog appears, but I can't find where that message is logged and it just appears for a fraction of a second. At any rate, I need help figuring out why the o2_enterprise chooser is falling back to the old dialog. One clue is that both the login dialog and logout dialog are 'regular windows' (with window decorations, etc.) instead of pixmaps. I don't know why, but I suspect solving the greeter issue will solve the other... Is anyone else experiencing this problem with their latest builds? It could always be an arch upstream change issue, but I can't figure out how to tell exactly what is failing to tell. Thoughts? Wisdom? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

R14 - SAK driven secure dialog is not available for use

by David C. Rankin

Tim, Looking at the graphical tdm greeter issue, I have the same SAK error on R14 that I see in 3513-sru. In .xsession-errors, I get: [kdesktop] SAK driven secure dialog is not available for use (retcode 6). Check tdmtsak for proper functionality. I looked at the code in tdebase/kdesktop/lockeng.cc and the correct tdmtsak and kdmtsak executables are being called in R14/3513, so I can't explain this error with tdmrc UseSAK=true?? -- David C.

tdelibs FTBFS (Aug. 10 CUPS patch)

by Darrell Anderson

Building TDE against CUPS 1.4.5 (Slackware 13.1). As of today I now receive the following build failures: /dev/shm/tdelibs/tdeprint/cups/kmcupsjobmanager.cpp:300: error: 'class IppRequest' has no member named 'last' /dev/shm/tdelibs/tdeprint/cups/kmcupsmanager.cpp:571: error: 'class IppRequest' has no member named 'last' /dev/shm/tdelibs/tdeprint/cups/kmcupsmanager.cpp:902: error: 'class IppRequest' has no member named 'last' Reversing commit 9bc0d2cd resolves the failure, but I presume the patch should be tweaked to support CUPS < 1.6.

3513-sru - Error: need to change kdesktop 'tdmtsak' reference to 'kdmtsak'

by David C. Rankin

Slavek, I don't know what name change did this, but kdesktop tries to load 'tdmtsak'. It should be loading 'kdmtsak'. Here is the error generated in .xsession-errors: [kdesktop] SAK driven secure dialog is not available for use (retcode 6). Check tdmtsak for proper functionality. I checked and the kdmtsak binary is there: 18:52 tdesru:~> l /opt/trinity/bin/*sak* -rws--x--x 1 root root 28209 Aug 12 01:21 /opt/trinity/bin/kdmtsak -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24113 Aug 12 01:46 /opt/trinity/bin/tsak -- David C.

tdmrc BootManager support for Grub2 ??

by David C. Rankin

Tim, All, Since grub is dead upstream and movement is toward grub2, how will this be supported in tdm? Currently Grub and Lilo are the only boot managers supported. Has anybody looked to see what is needed to add Grub2 support? This will affect the shutdown dialog options to restart "Select bootloader". It looks like the main differences will be to parse /boot/grub/grub.cfg instead of /boot/grub/menu.lst. In grub, the menu.lst file was formatted like: # comment title root kernel initrd savedefault # comment for chainload title rootnorverify makeactive chainloader savedefault Under grub2 grub.cfg, you have something like: ### comment ### menuentry 'New Title' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-core repo kernel-true-a625b429-6143-459c-a57c-6c5bba56d715' { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos5' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos5 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos5 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos5 a625b429-6143-459c-a57c-6c5bba56d715 else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root a625b429-6143-459c-a57c-6c5bba56d715 fi echo 'Loading Linux core repo kernel ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=a625b429-6143-459c-a57c-6c5bba56d715 ro quiet echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img } So for grub2 it looks like you will parse for 'menuentry' 'set root' in order to pass that information to grub2 for restart. Anybody looked into this yet? Do we want to open a feature request on it? (for those not using grub2 yet -- just wait :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Renaming sound files?

by Darrell Anderson

Many sound files are named with a KDE_* prefix. Everything works as is and there is no requirement to rename the files. Yet in the spirit of renaming for branding purposes, should we rename those files to TDE_*? There are two packages that contain the files: tdebase and tdeartwork. Renaming and updating the respective make files is straightforward, as is updating 11 default eventsrc config files in other packages in the source tree. A remaining challenge is updating existing user profile eventsrc config files to use the renamed files because existing eventsrc config files will be referencing sound files with the KDE_* prefix, which no longer would exist. Currently we have no mechanism to update profile eventsrc files. We can write a new shell script to perform the updates. The new script would be called by the migratekde3 and called once from within starttde, like the r14-xdg-update script. Or embed the updates in the migratekde3 and r14-xdg-update scripts. The renaming would be R14 only and not expected to be backwards compatible with 3.5.13 sru. Comments? Darrell

3.5.13-sru, .xsession-errors, kdeinit Could not load library! Trying exec....

by David C. Rankin

Tim, Slavek, After receiving a error message that knotify crashed (see: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/3513-knotifyCrash-disable-aRts.…), I begin checking the .xsession-errors file. The are a number of errors 'Could not load library! Trying exec....' This may be normal, but I want to confirm whether there is a problem here or not.

There may be a couple of lingering 't' 'k' issues that need fixing somewhere. Any help appreciated. Also, if there is some way to turn up logging in tde, let me know. I recall that there is a way to turn up what goes in xsession-errors, but I'm drawing blanks this morning :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

konqueror - filemanager - context menu - "Open As Root" "Edit As Root"

by David C. Rankin

All, Looking into why the tdm display manager themes are not displaying, I needed to open many files as root. It would be really helpful to have a context menu item for files that is something like "Open As: " or "Edit as: " where you can choose the user to open the file under. This just saves having to type tdesu filename on the cli. Is there already something like that that can be included in tde? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

3.5.13-sru, .menu file install change (prevents kde4 conflict)??

by David C. Rankin

Tim, Slavek, Francios, One conflict with kde4 and 3.5.13-sru is the install of .menu files in /etc/xdg/menus (I think by tdebase). I have two ideas. Either are OK if they will work: (1) cherry-pick the commit that changes the names of the menu files from kde-xxx.menu to tde-xxx.menu for sru. E.g.: etc/xdg/menus/tde-information.menu etc/xdg/menus/tde-screensavers.menu etc/xdg/menus/tde-settings.menu etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/tde-essential.menu The problem here is I don't know how much else in the code has to be changed along with this. OR (2) Install all kde-xxx.menu files to $TDEDIR/etc/xdg. I don't know if this will work, but my installs already put the following files in /opt/trinity/etc opt/trinity/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu opt/trinity/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu-no-kde If putting kde-information.menu,kde-screensavers.menu,kde-settings.menu, and tde-essential.menu in /opt/trinity/etc/xdg will work, I think we can just make a change in tdebase TDESetupPaths.cmake. It looks to me like tdelibs/kded installs the applications menu in /opt/trinity/etc while tdebase installs the rest of the menus in /etc. If we can do either (1) or (2), that will eliminate an install confict with kde 4.9. What say the experts? Can we do something like this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
